Exclusive Interviews With Cruachan, Woods of Ypres, and Eluveitie Coming Soon!
Keith Fay, founder of the legendary Irish Folk-Metal band Cruachan, has agreed to an interview with Metal Wyrd. If you haven’t yet heard the latest Cruachan album, The Morrigan’s Call, you’re in for a treat. If Folk-Metal is your cup of tea, Cruachan fills it to overflowing. The Morrigan’s Call is available around the world and most likely at your favorite music shop.
Also coming soon: Our interview with David Gold, founder of Canadian melodic Doom-Metal band Woods of Ypres. 
WoY just released what many are calling one of the best metal albums of the year, The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues, which is available directly from the band by visiting their Forum, or from The End Records.
Also coming soon: Our interview with Rafi Kirder, bass player for Swiss Folk-Metal sensation Eluveitie. Eluveitie just released Slania, 
an album that many are calling the most exciting new Folk-Metal album of the year. I’ve heard it. It’s true. “Inis Mona,” alone, is worth the price of admission. That energetic song will drive audiences nuts!
